I guess that depends largely on how well you project your other other defensemen to be, and how soon they'll get there. Plus, being the 3rd or 4th best forward on this team doesn't necessarily mean that guy stinks, considering who he'd be in line behind.

I'm not advocating Ryan Whitney be traded, and I don't think he will be; I'm just answering your question.

I'm not advocating Whitney to be traded either. I'd rather keep Whit, Gogo, and Letang for the long term.

If there were a way to get a decent winger that wasn't a ghost floater (see Satan) for Sid's line, the world would be a better place

Probably not Anaheim...they have a plethora of NHL-ready d-men down there, but because of the vets that stuck around and because bonuses (also applies to Ryan) count towards the Upper Limit without a 7.5% overage chance (i.e. the first true hard cap since the lockout)...guys like Ryan and d-men like Festerling, Salcido and Mikkelson continue taking the bus...

No real need for the Ducks to take Gogo, especially for a player like Ryan who is better now and has a higher ceiling then Gogo...
